Something tells me it's going to one of those days....

As you saw on my last post, we were heading to see Nana today. Before we could go out and socialize with the other residents, I had to order Nana's phone service. Within minutes it's hooked up and I can call in and out. So I'm setting up her speed dials and start hitting the buttons to see if any are pre-set (I had taken her phone from her house when I first got her). Only one was pre-set and of course not marked. It dials the number and I hang up assuming it's an Indiana number. Then I call her number from my cell phone so I can adjust the ringer volume and make sure I can call in ok. When it rings, I pick it up and hang up after adjusting the volume and then continue on with setting the speed dials. A few minutes later the phone rings again. It's Fayette County (GA) 911 dispatch. Apparently that speed number I hit was 911. Funny considering I heard more than 3 digits dial. And apparently the number that called when I called on my cell was 911 dispatch. And APPARENTLY when you hang up on 911 when you call and then hang up on them when they call you back police are dispatched ASAP to your residence. Great, we've been there for about 45 minutes and the cops are already coming. This is nice. So I tell the not so friendly dispatcher what happened. She is NOT amused and starts getting my information to cancel the police. About this time, my angelic 3 year old is getting into a fight with my angelic grandmother. I tell him to be quiet I'm on the phone. He walks over mad, and hits the hang up button. That's right! He hangs up on the 911 dispatcher. What do you do in this case? Call 911 back? Wait for the ticked off dispatcher to call you back? I put Rylan in timeout. He is now throwing a tantrum, and the phone rings. The 911 dispatcher is even more peeved and is not amused at all that my 3 year old has hung up on her. She asks if I'm SURE everyone is ok, because by this point Rylan is screaming, Austin is crying and she has been hung up on 3 times.

I finally get off the phone to discover that Rylan has now pooped his underwear. Apparently he was screaming I pooped while I was on the phone. So I'm trying to not yell at him since you aren't suppose to do that when they have an accident. I'm also trying to calm down Austin who is sick for the first time ever and very irritable. As I'm changing Rylan there is a knock on the door. Oh yes, the police are here. 2 policemen and 3 of the staff members come bolting in the room after 1 knock on the door. Well of course there is commotion, both of my kids are still being loud and one is half naked. I have to tell everyone what happened again. That I'm sorry, but we don't need police here. So the cop says he has to get our information anyway to write what happened for legal reasons. Luckily for me he only wants Nana's name. She is clueless to why the cops are even there and asked a few times what is going on. I'm not kidding when I say the police and staff left like the room was on fire as soon as that paperwork was done. They didn't even say good-bye. Just bolted back out. Something tells me they are going to know who Irene Frazier's family is real quickly!

On the upside, we now know if we call 911 they will be there in under 10 minutes!
